This past campaign finance period, which we officially reported last Wednesday, I paid for the design and printing of literature to hand out at doors and events, rally signs, and the food and supplies for the campaign kickoff. Still, I raised more money than I spent and ended with over $7,000 cash in hand. In fact, I raised more money this month-long period than the two-month-long period prior. That's momentum.

It's time to build on that momentum. I know a lot of you are enjoying some much needed time off this summer. I just got back from a long weekend at the beach myself -- the only time off I have scheduled until November. Now, it's go-time. I've already been knocking on doors and attending events throughout the district. I've been scheduling meet-and-greets and lining up people to welcome voters at the polls on Election Day. If I haven't yet, I'll be calling you to ask you to join me. You can save me some time and sign up to volunteer here or email me at joy@joymaloney.com with what you'd like to do. You can contribute time or money or both. I can't do this alone.

This Sunday will mark 100 days left in this campaign. That's how fast it is going! As Gandhi said, "Be the change you want to see in the world." It's time to make a change for the best. For our kids. For our schools. For our community. Together.
